About the Owner of Mixed Martial Arts Lifestyle (MMAL)
My purpose is to help people understand that martial arts is about bringing positivity towards an individual’s life & is more than just a self-defensive sport.
About The Owner:
Hi there! I’m Austin, author & owner of the Mixed Martial Arts Lifestyle (MMAL) blog. My journey as a martial artist started when I was 13 years old & Praying Mantis Kung Fu was the first discipline that I started out in.
As I kept consistently training, I became obsessed with the science behind martial arts. At one point in my life, I was lost & don’t know what sport I was truly good at since I’m not good at any other ones.
Getting into Kung Fu helped me discover that combat sports were more of my forte. So as I grew up, I decided to take up & wanting to learn more than just one discipline. During my time in high school, I joined the wrestling team because I wanted to learn the fascinating art of throws & takedowns.
A couple years after graduating from high school, I chose to pursue learning other disciplines. So I joined an MMA gym where I could train in multiple arts such as Dutch Kickboxing & Muay Thai, Boxing, relearning Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, & MMA.
Training in all these disciplines has been a “big” influence throughout my life, & each of them has given me several benefits.
Why I Created Mixed Martial Arts Lifestyle (MMAL)
I created Mixed Martial Arts Lifestyle (MMAL) to help people new to martial arts understand that it is more than just a self-defensive sport. Martial arts may strengthen a person both physically & mentally, but it also teaches them to develop their character to overcome obstacles in life.
Since I have achieved these benefits, hopefully, I can inspire readers to find a discipline they would be good in to help build themselves.
